Story Prompt part 7

And she’s back.

The husband

“I don’t know if you know I was once married.

To a man who said things like:

• I know you always enjoyed dancing but now that we’re married I don’t think you should dance like that anymore.
• Not sure why I married a brunette since I always preferred blondes.
• Do you really think you should eat that?
• Why on earth do you think we should spend my hard earned money on that?
• Look at this dust; do you ever clean around here?
• I can’t believe you never learned to cook a decent meal. Maybe I should have my Mom give you lessons.
• Another baby stillborn? Can’t you even do that right?

It turned out I had done that right. He chose my doctor but it never occured to me that they lied to me about my babies. They were all born alive but promptly whisked away to be sold to couples that couldn’t have their own.

Fortunately, one couple decided the baby he sold to them was defective so they sued him.

At least I got that baby back. And my life.

As to my husband, he committed suicide rather than face life in prison.

At my suggestion.”
